oh it's just the levels that the 360 version had six months ago, lame I thought they were going to be new ones

Neolink · 4 Mar 2010 at 11:42

Well I guess most of us did not play those, it's a start at least

I'm just disappointed that it took so long! (and to be honest I hadn't noticed that the PC version didn't already have these levels) bit of a ****-up that they managed to delete everyone's save games the first time round as well.

Wish I got this when it was cheap

Really want to play it

DLC finally updating on mine now, only 470mb patch for these 4 levels lol. Full game is only 800mb on my hd lol, these maps must be huge...

I know this is quite an old game, but is there any way of getting it to run smooth on a low spec machine?

I gave it a blast on my netbook today and it's around 2 fps!

EDIT: I've given up, I think an Intel GFX card isn't going to cut the mustard...

That said, my update isn't downloading, steam is acting up tonight...

MikeHunt79 · 7 Mar 2010 at 23:08

Shameless bump - steam is all running great now and I've managed to get some scored on the board....

Here's my profile: http://steamcommunity.com/id/RMikeHunt79

If someone could add me to the list that would be great... I even managed a top 10 score... :cool:

I've added you, gazg_21

I've had a quick go on these new levels, not bad for free

Neolink · 14 Mar 2010 at 00:50

Anyone got any advice for the 2nd DLC map? Really struggling with it for some reason

I get to the first wave of boss aliens perfectly and then it goes downhill incredibly rapidly :/

Try a mixture of gun towers, lasers, cannons and a temporal along the 2 middle rows. Towards the end make them walk back the way they came by switching one of the towers at the start of their path with one from the end of their path, they don't like that.

Chong Warrior · 10 Apr 2010 at 22:35

All my scores seem to have disappeared off the leaderboards. Only one score still there on the Barrier to Enrty level - green towers only.

From what I can see a lot of people who I've added as friends here, a lot of your scores have also gone. Though not all of them like mine.

flasher · 11 Apr 2010 at 16:07

Sure all the scores were scrubbed when they moved it over to steam for the leaderboards.

79p, the true value of a map pack is realised. I might wait till the lot of em are out and get em then.

PapaLazaru · 2 Jun 2010 at 22:36

Easiest 79p I have ever parted with (apart from that Mongolian dwarf).

AndrewN · 2 Jun 2010 at 23:22

OK, I can spare 79p

. Giving it a go, if they are crap then I won't bother with the others.

TheOtherOption · 2 Jun 2010 at 23:40

Awesome - will grab all of these DG rocks

Neolink · 3 Jun 2010 at 01:09

Getting them all! Would have gladly paid a lot more for more Defence Grid goodness

snowdog · 3 Jun 2010 at 01:52

89 cents ?
Bought !

I haven't finished all the free new levels yet ( one is too hard for my **** skillz), but I LOVED this. Easily worth another 89 cents. Will be a blast at uni on my lappy or whatever.
More maps upcoming too wohoo, will see how I like this first one, if I like it I'll buy the 2nd, then the 3rd, etc, until I get bored of it. I usually hate paying for DLC but meh the original game was cheap and the DLCs cost less than a hamburger at maccy D unlike MW2 maps which cost as much as a crate of premium beer :mad:
